Well it's Flag Day again (or it was) and Kirk has written a song about it. In the past, all of Kirk's holiday-themed songs have been slightly on the side of inappropriate. But this one promises to be different. In the end, I think it's all in the interpretation.

The BP Oil Spill: An Anthem
Never let anyone tell you that the spirit of the sixties is dead. Jimmy Fallon, with special help from The Roots, has written a protest song concerning the BP oil spill in the gulf. And it's every bit as powerful as "If I Had a Hammer". Anyone who says any different is a commie. Power to the people.
Note: No one knows who the cowboy in the back is or where he comes from. When asked in an interview The Roots didn't even know what the person was talking about and we're shocked when they saw the video replay.

A Would-Be Viral Video
As an attempt at a bit, Jimmy Fallon gave Questlove, of Roots fame, a few popular clips from the web and asked him to "remix" them for the show. The "Watch Jimmy With Jimmy" webisode revealed that he was literally given these clips an hour before the show.
Watch the results here:
It's a crime that this is not an actual clip. Rather, it's linked as a "clip" that I made from the hulu video of the entire episode and will therefore be deleted in a few days. So sad. I love it.

Craig Kilborn Comes Back
In a Y2K scenario never envisioned by even the most eccentric theorist, it seems TV is reseting back to 1999. Conan and Craig Kilborn will both be getting new shows this year.
"The Kilborn File" will be a half hour show and will air on FOX at times between 6:30 and 7:30 (depending on your location). Kilborn will lead a panel of "experts" who will take a sideways look at the day's news and pop culture.
Disappointing that it's not a late night talk show. Even more disappointing is that it sounds like Extra, The Bill Maher Crapathon or even worse, TMZ.
But, judging books by covers such as it is, I'll be watching beginning June 28th. Here's hoping it's a half hour version of The Thanksgiving Roundtable.
Conan starts on TBS November 8th (NOVEMBER 8TH?! Yeah.) A special "Team Coco Presents Conan's Writers Live" will air June 17th.

American Idol - A Tribute
I don't know why, but Jimmy feels moved to sing a song in honor of "American Idol" with special guest Jake Gyllenhaal. Though not a fan myself, I have to admire the eloquent lyrics.
